Giant Nintendo NES is actually a coffee table

In some homes, it is usually what you will find on the top of a coffee table that will sometimes start a conversation. In this case, it is the coffee table itself that will have people talking – especially if you are a retro video gamer. That is because this particular coffee table was made to look like a gigantic NES system.

Created by a person called Mattcyborgelt on his YouTube and Flickr accounts, this Nintendo NES Coffee Table has a lot going for it on looks alone. But there is more. Up front the console/coffee table has a working “power” button with light, and the controller ports are actually two power outlets that Matt uses to keep his laptop running. And although it is not a working console itself, this table includes lots of space for gaming consoles and cable receivers thanks to the hidden storage area in back. The front cover even secretly houses a working large-scale NES controller in case Matt wants to play old school Nintendo video games on a large scale.

The irony here is, if I owned such a nice piece of furniture such as this, I think the last thing I would want people to put on it is any beverages, let alone coffee. It just looks too awesome.
